Rowton Castle - Shropshire

We were lucky enough to be guests at a friends wedding at Rowton Castle. It is one of the very best wedding venues I have been at. The location is extremely picturesque with many excellent photo opportunities. Inside it seems smaller than you might expect but has a nice intimate atmosphere. The staff and service were very good. I was particularly impressed with the food. A large meal for a Wedding party with everyone served different meals but all at the same time must be one of the most challenging tasks in catering, but the meal was really excellent and the service very slick and well organised with no excessive waiting. The staff were efficient and attentive and knew before they arrived at the table who everyone was and what they were having. The wine was good, too, and from what the Wedding couple told me it was very reasonably priced. Breakfast next day was very nicely cooked and again service was excellent. It is difficult to find any downsides to mention, perhaps the only thing was the sound insulation in the bedrooms. I believe the hotel part of the building was added during WW2 and, whilst it looks and feels in keeping with the rest of the venue, the walls must be a bit thin! Not much the management can do about that but if you are staying overnight try and pick a room next to someone who doesn't suffer from sleep apnea! ;

Have visited Rowton Castle a few times it has always been excellent. The food and service always 5* We came for our sons wedding this month. What a magical day from beginning to end. Such a glorious setting the gardens so beautiful. The wedding was inside as it looked like rain however it did not rain so we spent many hours outside in the wonderful setting. Everything was perfect the staff work hard to make sure that the day is perfect the ceremony the food and service were perfect. Thank you all so much for making this a truly memorable day. We will be back when you can squeeze us in between weddings.

A beautiful dining room in a castle, what more could you ask for? Well throw in first class service and an exceptional meal.....this is an absolute gem! Highly recommended.....the rooms are beautifully decorated and we were glad that we had booked to stay over too. I would recommend the rib-eye steak, cooked to perfection, melt in the mouth and topped with a rich Shropshire blue sauce.....I can’t wait to come back.

We were lucky enough to attend the Castle for my niece's wedding. The hotel provided the wedding meal and it was superb! From the starter to the dessert, the meal was perfect. Every effort was made to accommodate the vegetarians, vegans and children. The staff cleared the tables and bought the next course with little fuss and ensured a seamless transition throughout the whole feast!

A lovely meal with friends in this quaint dining room.A quiet Friday night but the setting is beautiful in this wood panelled room. Food good, though meat perhaps a little bland but good value for money, good wine, attentive staff. Would certainly go back.
